I know this to be true from my own personal experiences. I was wondering has anyone else had a similar experience or dream. I believe this to be of God, because the bible teaches, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD" I believe that people that pass on as a Christian immediately enter heavens door to be with other Christians..What do you believe?

Sorry but I meant to say that this question should only be answered by Christians because it is bible related, even though I trully love everyone..I do know for a fact, previous christians who have passed on has entered heaven doors even though many of you think they have to wait until after judgement day..There is a scriptural statement in the bible of how lazarus is lying in the bosom of abraham, and a rich man who did not care for others would cry out to God for deliverance from the heat of hell..There there is another statement of how when Jesus was on a mountain, others who have died in the old testament came down to visit him supernaturally..Its all concerning your spiritual level in the LORD of understanding his word..Everyone may not be able to come back, but below is my proof that believers are allowed to visit..
mathew chapter 17..And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured befor

Mathew chapter 17.. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

I highly doubt that. I used to believe that humans can get into heaven, but I don't think that is possible until the Second Coming, or the Judgement of Man. The deceased remain in a sort of dormant sleep wherever they are buried or remain, until the time of His visitation. You see, I do not think that humans actually ever enter heaven; after the Earth is "renewed and rebuilt" as it is said in The Book of Revelation, a vast city that was built in heaven is placed on Earth for all the good people to dwell in for eternity. That city is called the New Jerusalem. Now of course, this is based on a Christian aspect and opinion. In the end, I guess, it really doesn't matter what we visualize heaven as or what we think heaven will be like, because the truth is all that really matters in the end.

I believed as you for a time but my study now has me convinced that the souls of the departed, saved and unsaved, sleep untill called up for either for the Judgment of the saved at The Rapture...or... the judgment of the lost at the end of time... the souls of the departed do not communicate or return to visit the liveing mortal world.... what are often seen as "ghosts" are, in fact, evil spirits mimicing the departed... the forces on evil know all about every one and can seem very real in form and communication... if you ever see a ghost leave it's presence or, If you have the authority of God, command the spirit to leave in Christ's name... Only those of The Church of Which Jesus The Christ is The Head have the authority of God to command spirits in Christ's name.

Yes, I believe that is true. I think they have gone to Heaven. I had a dream about my brother who passed away. He was looking very young and very happy, until I started to tell him how much we all missed him. He then turned into the older man we all knew. Once I was silent and he started talking he got young again. Who knows if those things are from God or our minds, but I felt better.

No God will not let you see a loved one that has passed on, but
I seen what appear be a smoke, that may have been my brother
or my Dad. Because my Mother seen the same smoke, over by
the back door. we both seen the same smoke under the fan in
our living. One way you will see your loved one, is to go to heaven when you die. I hope you have Jesus Christ in your
heart, so when die you will see that one that you knew here on
Earth. Walk the streets of Gold, and be will Jesus, and your loved one forever more.

Whatever illusion you have of the afterlife is what you'll experience so yes you'll be with other Christians just as Muslims will be with Muslims etc. All of that illusion can be avoided though if you seek and attain spiritual enlightenment in this life. Enlightened consciousness is the only true reality.

Who will be included in the earthly resurrection?
John 5:28, 29: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice [the voice of Jesus] and come out.” (The Greek word translated “memorial tombs” is not the plural form of ta´phos [grave, an individual burial place] or hai´des [gravedom, the common grave of dead mankind] but is the plural dative form of mne·mei´on [remembrance, memorial tomb]. It lays stress on preserving memory of the deceased person. Not those whose memory was blotted out in Gehenna because of unforgivable sins but persons remembered by God will be resurrected with the opportunity to live forever.—Matt. 10:28; Mark 3:29; Heb. 10:26; Mal. 3:16.)
Acts 24:15: “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Both those who lived in harmony with God’s righteous ways and people who, out of ignorance, did unrighteous things will be resurrected. The Bible does not answer all our questions as to whether certain specific individuals who have died will be resurrected. But we can be confident that God, who knows all the facts, will act impartially, with justice tempered by mercy that does not ignore his righteous standards. Compare Genesis 18:25.)
Rev. 20:13, 14: “The sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.” (So, those whose death was attributable to Adamic sin will be raised, whether they were buried at sea or in Hades, the common earthly grave of dead mankind.)

Yes, I believe this. Whatever religion you have...Christianity, Muslim, Hinduism, undecided, or maybe none at all... Doing "good" on earth will bring you to heaven. And heaven is a place of love, and loved ones.
